I wished to create a small gift for my cousin who also enjoys stitching and sewing and decided for a needlebook, but with a twist! I saw these blackwork patterns on one of the recent issues of CrossStitcher and loved the suggestion of stitching them in colors. So I picked up my linen, some skeins of DMC in really bold colors and here is the result. It's made in the form of a notepad, which I think makes it quite pretty. She liked it, so a happy bunny here!!

I have been quite busy lately stitching for the exchanges I joined but managed to put the last stitches to my new needlebook last night. I decided I will use it for the threads and needles I am using for the mystery SAL, so that they don't get mixed up with my other projects. I am so pleased with the way it turned out!!

Last week I joined this lovely SAL, organized by Nikyscreations. I wished to start stitching at once, but (isn't it just typical?!) I did not have all the required materials in my stash. So, I had to be patient (me... patient, LOL!!) till all arrived and last night I could finally stitch it. Here is the first part of the design. It is really very nice, and I look forward to see what will appear next. The designer will release the second part in June, so I will have to be patient again!!

Some weeks ago I visited the Online Needlework Show and stopped to look at some lovely pages. I must admit that I have a soft spot for samplers, so I somewhat biased my visit... And was so lucky as to win the door prize by The Marking Sampler!!

... what a lovely surprise! The postie brought me a most lovely parcel yesterday from a generous friend in the UK. I look forward to put to good use my new jubilee themed stash, and aren't the other gifts just gorgeous? I feel really spoiled!! Thank you!!

Time to take a break from City Park... The left side of the design is very "crowded" and looks interesting, so I thought I would spare it for next week. And dedicate the weekend to some new quick project!

I bought this lovely hand-dyed linen fabric recently, but had not been able to use it yet, so yesterday I started a little needle-book.
